In groups, you will:
Do not worry! It’s going to be a great adventure!
This is a team-sport
I will be in every Research Methods lecture and I have a Student Hour from 3-4 every Monday, before we all go to the Design & Analysis lecture. Yup! Me too!
Available at g.wright@gold.ac.uk
I genuinely could not imagine anything I would rather do than this. Please talk to me! Help me get to know you!
Research Methods is a core module with a 30 credit weighting
This means that in order to progress to Y3, you must pass all 3 assessment elements:
Critical Proposal 1,800 words (15%)
Mini-Dissertation 2,500 words (70%)
CHIP Learning Log 1,200 words (15%)
Warning
All coursework is INDIVIDUAL and subject to normal plagiarism and collusion rules
1 x 1 hr Lecture per week (Monday)

Each week there will be a very brief ‘Preparation’ designed to introduce the main topics of the week
Lecture (slides a week ahead and recording posted afterwards)
Labs
NO EXAM
The courseworks ALL require critical reflection and metacognitive practice. This will be discussed in a number of lectures, but it contributes to effective learning and your integration of the skills and experience of doing this research exercise.
..will both be required.
I ask you to see both as an opportunity to develop these important skills.
You will see we have some ideas to make this more relevant to careers and employability
It is easier to ‘keep up than to catch up’.
We will be releasing a series of valuable resources to help you through every step of the process
These will have value for your final year dissertation too.
Contribution to and comment on these is welcome and hoped for!
Open Educational Resources will be used extensively, and most core readings are available online via the library.
And have an amazing year!
